Keeping your tomatoes healthy
We all love getting those first ripe tomatoes out of our garden, but if we don't take care of our babies, we may not get to experience that joy. One of the most common questions we get is controlling the diseases that affect tomatoes in the garden. Most diseases or fungal, and there are a number of effective pesticides which can control these issues, but you need to plan ahead, scout your garden, and know what to look for. Take a look at NCSU's tomato website for more information.
